Hi all. I have a problem that I don't really know how to solve. The actual problem is that I want to parse the way ppl enter time in forms, for instance i want "0600" to be 06:00:00 and 0234 to be 02:34:00 (and of course I want 07:00:00 to be valid as well). That is the basic problem.
My solution for this was to create a behavior that I called humantime, which would parse the data before validation and convert 0600 to 06:00:00 so that validation could parse it and MySql would be happy. This solution works perfectly, accept for a little "glitch", in some places I want to use the humantime version (of the data) in my controller, because I like to do some comparison before saving the data. I would also like to send the converted data back to the view so that the user can see what he's time got converted to without having to redirect the user to a page that will re-read the data. The reason that it doesn't work at the moment (according to me) is because the behavior gets a copy of the data array and not the actual data. But anyhow since I want to do this before the controller starts working maybe a component of some sort would be a better idea? Any suggestions (or questions :P)? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
